Piece description from the artist
Just outside of Raleigh, North Carolina sits Yates Mill. Built in 1756, thirteen years before the birth of Napoleon, this water-powered mill produced lumber, milled corn and wheat for nearly 200 years. Nearly a century after it was first built, it was sold to Phares and Roxanna Yates in the midst of the civil war.
In the moments before dawn, just before the sun spills over the horizon and across the landscape, I always smile with anticipation as I wait for the show to begin.
I savor the days when I’m alone in nature, witnessing the world in all its perfection and capturing those fleeting moments of natural beauty.
I love the craft of photography and the entire process of earning a photo that makes me proud- even the disappointing days when my shutter doesn’t click once. The white-out blizzards, stormy nights, and grueling hikes are always worth the dazzling golden sunrises, crimson last gasps of sun at day's end, and the crystal clear night skies staring out into infinity.
It’s all a humble reminder that nature is always in charge, and no two days are the same.
Ultimately, I’m just a guy who loves to see the world, appreciate its beauty and attempts to do it justice with my lens.
I hope you enjoy my work as much as I have enjoyed bringing it to you.
